Grip Strgth (LH)
Grip strength is a measure of a players bat control and ability to transfer power and speed during impact, measured in pounds of force generated; collected with elbow bent at 90 degrees.
Grip Strgth (RH)
Grip strength is a measure of a players bat control and ability to transfer power and speed during impact, measured in pounds of force generated; collected with elbow bent at 90 degrees.
Positional Profile: C/1B RHH/C Solid build, will add strength. Solid receiver. Good bat/power combo in future. Shows hard contact, like the upside to power in future.
Body: 6-1, 207-pounds. Good build/frame to add strength. Width to back and shoulders, will be able to carry good weight in furture.
Hit: RHH. Lands in good position to hit after stride with some length between feet. Rotational back foot, gets stuck at times. Nice job of using lower when fully rotated. Work to hit off firm front foot at all times, rotates onto side of foot early losing ability to maximize use of lower. Hands start slightly pushed back from body, barrel in decent launch position. Length created to swing with lean arm bar and barrel casting out instead of taking direct path to zone. Work to soft lead arm allow for shorter barrel path to hit zone. 70.3 mph bat speed with 17 G's of rotational acceleration.
Power: 98 max exit velocity, averaged 90.7 mph. 336' max distance. Solid bat/power combo in future. Like the raw components to approach and swing. Opportunities present for adjustments. Like the future impact of bat.
Arm: RH. C-75 mph. Length to exchange, stride foot never gets on line with that…front side opens early…work stride online and keep front side close longer.
Defense: 2.08-2.12 pop times. Hands work receiving, Moves well behind plate. Nice job of framing, showing hand strength in pens.
Positional Profile: C/1B RHH/C…will add strength in future. Will be solid receiver in future, can quicken release. Raw arm strength will continue to develop. Opportunities for adjustments with hit approach and swing. Raw power will continue to develop. Player to follow and watch development.
Body: 6-1, 210-pounds. Good build/frame to add strength in future. Width to shoulders and back present. Projects to have good build, durable, catchers build.
Hit: RHH. Lands in good position to hit. Rotational back that gets stuck at times, work to get foot rotated completely. Drive forward to pitcher, lower 1/2 use can be improved firming ability to impact baseball. Spins off with finish of lower 1/2. Improve posture, hit into firm front leg, work to be upright, slight lean forward at times now. Barrel/hands in good launch position, swing works to hitting zone, pulls off. Work to stay thru baseball getting extension thru baseball. 72.7 mph bat speed with 15 G's of rotational acceleration.
Power: 97 max exit velocity, averaged 89.2 mph. 349' max distance. Opportunities present for adjustments. Solid bat/power combo in future with chance that it could exceed.
Arm: RH. C-71 mph. Long release, must firm staying behind baseball. Head pulls to side, arm drags, don't think he's looking at target throwing with head pull. Lots of opportunities to improve. Long toss program would be a create starting point.
Defense: 2.09-2.25 pop times. Receives well, hands work in zone catching. Nice job of blocking. Moves well.
ATH: 7.42 runner in the 60. 1.74 and 4.08 in the 10 and 30 yard splits. Hard runner.
